Beta Rhythm

Beta rhythms are the main rhythm of the adult brain at rest. Caused by theta and gamma wave activity. These waves are diffuse in nature - they cover the entire cerebral cortex, and there are many sources.

For alpha waves, it is important that the beta oscillations slow down and decrease. In any healthy person, the first thing observed is a slowdown in alpha wave oscillations. If the activity of alpha and beta waves is simultaneously recorded in the brain, then this is a pathological condition. When interpreting an EEG, it is important for a doctor to focus on the context (the connection between waves). Does a patient with epilepsy have a lot of alpha and theta waves? He's probably not sleeping. But if the EEG recorded alpha and
